Hi,

A friend has received delivery of a set of Dunlop tires.
He tells me that there are colored lines on one side of the tire, and he
doesn't know their purpose.  Neither do I......
Is anyone here any wiser?  (I'll be seeing him tomorrow, Friday, hopefully
to give him some good news.)

Thank you.
Andy I.

They are manufacturing color codes, which are easier for material
handlers to read instead of peering at the size and part numbers
molded in black rubber on the side of a black tire.

Many thanks for the quick response.

Much appreciated.
Andy.
